its not a salt..its a carbonate !!!!!!!  so when u put in in acid...effervescent ..bubles of a collurless gas and solid decrease in size

OMG LOL srry i got confused  :-[  ;D
Looks like i ran out of cool signatures :|

i understand the first 1

but the cathode...? where does the 2h2o come from?

I'm not sure, but i think it might be that when u add oxygen and hydrogen they react. This ofc only if the cathode and anode aren't seperated (like a wall between them)

At negative

Hydrogen loses electrons to the OH- ions .. its oxidised


2H2 (g)   +   4OH- ----->  4 H2O (l)  +  4 e-  

At positive

The electrons are accepted by oxygen molecules

Oxygen is reduced to OH- ions

O2 (g)  +  2H2O  +  4e-   ---->  4OH-  

Adding two half equations :

2H2 (g)  +  O  --->  2H2O (l)

i think thts wat  nid  has explained before..

Cathode and Anode are separated by a penetrable membrane which enables Hydrogen and Oxygen to interact.
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

1) nitrogen in air to nitrates: @artificial by haber
                                        B natural by lightening
                                        C biological by nodular bacteria and free living nitrogen fixing bacteria
2)fate of nitrates in the soil: @absorbed by the plant
                                        B leached to rivers or lakes
                                        C changed back to nitrogen in air by denitrifying bacteria
3)if it is absorbed plant eaten by animals then either plants or animal die so nitrogenous compound is changed tO AMMONIA in soil
4) the ammonia is changed back to nitrates by effect of nitrifying bacteria thn you go again to (2) to see its fate
i wish this help u understand it and get it  ;) ;) ;D who wanted the nitrogen cycle

frst the CONTINUOUS VARIATION IS DONE BY THE NATURE: HAVE INTERMEDIATES ,NO SHARP CUT BETWEEN CHAR , NOT CONTROLLED BY GENES (height,weight,.....)
scnd the DISCONTINUOUS VARIATION IS CONTROLLED GENETICALLY: SHARPCUT BETWEEN CHAR ( either boy or girl)(blue or brown eye)....,no inter mediates   
tell me if u got it or not

well it just have intermediates may be your height  176cm or 167 ,166 170.5  not fixed u r either 170 or 180...
thts the intermediates and sharpcut thing sharpcut is tht no intermediates got it?

Actually i kno wats continuous and discontinuous jus the words "intermediates " and "sharpcut" is new to me ..
